Hello,

I installed httpd 2.4.2 on CentOS6.2(64bit).
It seems like httpd leaks memory when mod_ssl is used.
When I start up httpd with mod_ssl, and when I issue "apachectl graceful",
it seems like httpd leaks memory.

If I issue "apachectl graceful" 1000 times, ps command shows
the memory usage gets bigger like below:

====Before 1000 times graceful restart====
# ps -elfy | head -1

You can reproduce this by:
1. start httpd with mod_ssl loaded.
2. issue "apachectl graceful" 1000 times.

I configured my httpd with following:
  # ./configure --prefix=/opt/testhttpd --with-included-apr



If I start up httpd without mod_ssl, memory usage does not get bigger
even after 1000 times graceful restart.
The evidence is below:

Are there memory leaks in mod_ssl module?


Thanks,
